 The Yellow River in north central Wisconsin, a Chippewa River tributary, is one of four distinct rivers in the state bearing the name Yellow River. This Yellow River begins in Kitric Swamp near Perkinstown, Wisconsin, in Chequamegon National Forest. The river runs a short way before it forms two reservoirs, the Chequamegon Waters Flowage and the Miller Dam Flowage, separated by an isthmus. Below Miller Dam, there is one more dam, at Cadott, forming another small reservoir, before the river joins the Chippewa River when it flows into Lake Wissota at Moon Bay.
 More than 300 lakes in Chippewa County will keep you busy searching for that exclusive musky or basking in a bay on a lazy summer afternoon.

In June and July a life guard is on duty during afternoons and early evenings. Bathrooms are open in summer only.

 Lake Wissota State Park is 9 miles West of Cadott, and has 1,062 acres of primarily young, rich forests and open prairie on a 6,300-acre manmade lake.
